Melbourne Writers Festival

This is going to be a quick update today – it occurred to me that I’ve not said I’m a guest of the Melbourne Writers’ Festival in a couple of weeks. On Saturday 24th August I’ll be over in Ballarat at the Museum of Australian Democracy at Eureka (M.A.D.E), which has just opened and by all accounts is very impressive. I can’t wait to check it out.

There’s a whole weekend of programming, with lots of big names, and will no doubt be fabulous! Check it all out here.

Here’s what I’m doing:

Saturday 24th August, 10am
